ハレルヤ！8月18日の主日礼拝において、K姉妹がバプテスマを受けられました。
K姉妹の伯母さんは、昭和初期にクリスチャンとなられました。その影響でお姉さんが二十歳で信仰を持ち、大阪で献身されています。お姉さんのとりなしもあって、K姉妹も神さまは信じておられたのですが、ずっと教会に行くことができず、一人で信仰生活を続けておられました。嫁がれたお家がご商売をされていて、日曜日が休めないのも原因でした。
昨年、40周年献堂記念礼拝にご招待したら夫婦でお越しくださり、続いてクリスマス礼拝にも、それから休まずに礼拝に集い続け、特伝で洗礼を決心、洗礼準備を経て洗礼式を迎えることができました。
４０年・・・神を慕い求めてこられたお証しは、感動的でした。理解を示しご一緒に礼拝に集ってくださるご主人、お店の留守を守って送り出してくださる息子さん、スタッフにも感謝です。
主は真実なお方！
Hallelujah! On August 18, Sister K was baptized at the Sunday service.
Sister K’s aunt became a Christian in the early Showa period. Because of her influence, Sister K came to faith at the age of 20 and has been committed in Osaka. Because of her sister’s intercession, Sister K also believed in God, but she was unable to go to church for a long time and continued her life of faith alone. The reason was that she was married into a business family and could not take Sundays off.
Last year, when we invited her to the 40th anniversary dedication service, she and her husband came to the service, followed by the Christmas service, and she continued to attend the service without a break.
Their testimony of 40 years of seeking God was very moving. We are grateful to her husband who understands and gathers for worship with her, her son who is away from the store and sends her off, and the staff.
The Lord is true!
